Student Job Summary:

The DoD SkillBridge program allows eligible service members to complete hands on civilian training during their final 180 days of active-duty service. Participants join Geisinger on a permissive temporary duty assignment, gaining valuable experience that supports career transition while contributing to work that improves lives and strengthens communities. The DoD SkillBridge program is open to service members of all ranks, both enlisted and officer. While participating in SkillBridge, individuals remain on active duty, continue to receive military compensation, and retain full military benefits. Participation is mission dependent, and approval must be granted by the service member's unit Commander before any SkillBridge agreement is established with Geisinger.

Job Duties:

At Geisinger, SkillBridge is more than an internship—it's a pathway to purpose‑driven work. As an integrated health system committed to improving lives and strengthening communities, Geisinger offers transitioning service members access to meaningful experiences across a wide range of career paths. Through hands‑on training and real‑world contributions, participants build skills and confidence for long‑term civilian success.

What Geisinger Offers SkillBridge Participants:

Mission‑Aligned Career Pathways Opportunities span clinical, technical, operational, and administrative roles, including care delivery, IT, logistics, HR, operations, and more. Whether you're continuing in a familiar field or exploring a new career direction, we work to align your military experience and interests with purposeful civilian work. Veteran‑Focused Guidance and Support Geisinger's SkillBridge Program Leader understands the unique challenges of military transition. Participants receive individualized support, mentorship, and advocacy throughout the SkillBridge experience to help navigate career decisions and prepare for the next stage of professional growth.
